Sorry to say but whriling attack is acauly very important in this build, its there to re-spam after cyclone axe and triple chop and it only costs 6 adrenaline, so great energy gain, without it triple chop and cyclone axe would no go so well so i suggest

my build usualy consits on 3 attacks skills, 2 or 3 aoe

[skill]Triple Chop[/skill][skill]cyclone axe[/skill]

[skill]Hundred Blades[/skill][skill]Sun and Moon Slash[/skill]

The axe version gains less energy when you fight <4 smites and without whirling attack no energy, but the sword version should be ok without it, slower but better on energy so heres my build changes for you:

[skill]Triple Chop[/skill][skill]Cyclone Axe[/skill][skill]Dolyak signet[/skill] (take 15 strength)

Use physical resistance to pull and gather, stop in safe - doylak and then axe attacks/visages/bonneti's =]

[skill]Hundred Blades[/skill][skill]Sun And Moon Slash[/skill][skill]standing slash[/skill]

Heh wanted to try this last night, had all this excess warrior gear and mods so I cobbled together the necessary axes and shields and adjusted my runes, only to find that UW scrolls were sold out >_<

Actually it's a good thing they were otherwise i would have charged into UW without first practicing the build heh. Tried it out against the minotaurs in Elona's Reach mission, got stomped the first time cuz I wasn't activating the skills in the proper order. 2nd attempt was successful, but very sloppily and the loot wasn't so great.... probably has to do with that whole anti farm code where less loot drops if more monsters die at the same time..... but otherwise yeah the build works great. I love numbers.

Tried it with hard mod with elona minotaurs and the minotaurs outside of the ice cave outpost, didn't go so well as they dealt far more damage than the mods and physical resistance could handle.... oh well.

I'll probably do a few more practice runs to get used to the build before I run into UW, assuming I can ever buy a bloody scroll....

I know I know

Just saying, doing elona reach minotaurs is a pretty good place to practice if you don't feel like wasting money on an UW scroll only to get wiped by the first mob on your first try with the build hehe

At the least, it'll get you used to seeing so many purple numbers flying up the screen. The first time I actually died at those minotaurs cuz I was so distracted by all the purdy colours and lost concentration

lol ^^ hehe purdy

Well I have been giving this some practice lately. Finally made it to the smite crawlers after 4 tries. I probably would have survived and acutally got to kill some but I got stuck... Well, I know what to avoid.

My biggest problem is the first room. I run up aggro the Grasps and run back down into the far side using enraging charge. More often than not a single Aatxe seems to follow me all the way. How can you avoid this. Is it one of the patrolling ones?

Then, there is the first group of smite crawlers. I aggro them and run towards the next two groups. Is it normal that they attack eachother?

the first room having a Aatxe chaase you all the way is real bad luck, it almost never happens to me because i alawys do it the same way(as on vid).

and yes its very common that at the start smites go canibal or even on a group of coldfires, if they do run away from them and move onto the next group of smites (then go back) or run back and wait.

Tirus WB · Sep 27, 2007, 05:37 PM // 17:37

hey thanks for the g8 vid, luv the song.

But I failed for 5 times in a row. As what u mentioned, the aatxe chased me all the way for 5 times... am I unlucky or what... duh...

Hey, tried with Dolyak Signet, it works, but not as the build should. It's faster for me with the VwK build, since I don't have the main skill.

Dean Harper · Sep 29, 2007, 03:52 AM // 03:52

i just be this is gonna get nerfed... its a shame too, a really fast run...

Hey_homies · Sep 29, 2007, 05:14 AM // 05:14

i tried this build and died trying to kill 2 grasping groups =(
I use:
knights insignia on all armor pieces
sup. absorb on 1 piece
and i use a victos bulwark

Aqualung · Sep 29, 2007, 06:47 AM // 06:47

shh, I doubt it would get nerfed, otherwise they would have to re-nerf terra tanks, vwk warriors and e/a shadow eles.

I already posted how to do this, you kill them using bonneties/Visages and attacks with an icy weapon of shelter and when your health goes to about 100-200 you put physical resistance on and switch to your zealous weapon of enchanting, and then use attacks(zealous gets energy) visages/physical resistance.

zling · Sep 29, 2007, 10:24 AM // 10:24

cant this build actually kill the Aatxes as well?
visages and bonneti's at start should be enough to drain their energy, so no savage slash and no adrenaline so no other skills. than you switch to physical resistance and own them. maybe you'll need a vampiric weapon as a self heal and extra damage instead of the zealous as you probably will get some damage even from their normal attacks.

why bother with Aatxes in the first place?
they sometimes drop ectos and you dont risk getting rubberbanded or lagged to death or whatever

test before you post pls, they do way to much dmg, 46-56 with physical resistance on. and as for the armor nerf, its very hard unless if you make a build that focused 100% on attaxes, it has been done, but its more challenge and risky than profitable.

You may be able to take a bonder monk(hero) with you if you realy desire this.

What are you nuts? Have you even fought an aatxe?

zling · Sep 29, 2007, 11:01 AM // 11:01

yes I did infact and I killed them and got ectos from them. mostly did duo runs though not solo.
and I havent tried going to UW with a warrior as mine is low lvl and I dont bother lvling it, have other lvl 20 chars I like better, necro, ranger, monk, dervish, etc

Straegaard · Sep 29, 2007, 12:31 PM // 12:31

I have now officially beaten my rits time record - 10 minutes

Its effect IS global, however there are many proven videos to show you that if the Sup Absorbtion is on your chest piece, it will infact take off more dmg, because you take something between 40-50% of the dmg on your chest piece.
therefore the -3dmg is accumilated off of a larger scale.
try it for yourself if u want, try putting it on leg piece or even arm piece, and then try Chest, the difference is quite noticable (easiest way to experiment is to go to an area when you dont normally take more than 10dmg. just easier to see results).

Funn build tho. im deffinately going to try it. ive been wanting to get back into GW anyway. miss the good old days of endless ecto
